A recent Forbes article titled, "Study shows people working from home are having sex, dating, taking naps and doing hustles on company time" (yes, that's the actual title) leads us to believe that either a) you all had a way more fun pandemic than we did or b) the article is a case study in bending statistics to fit your narrative.
